Bala Mohammed Tells Nyesom Wike: “It’s Time to Leave PDP”

A fresh crisis is brewing within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has called on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to resign from the party. This development comes after Wike’s recent comments and actions sparked accusations of anti-party behavior.

The Rift Between Mohammed and Wike

The rift between Mohammed and Wike began when Wike threatened to “put fire” in the states of PDP governors who interfere in the affairs of Rivers State. Mohammed, who is the current chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, responded to Wike’s threat, saying that nobody can put fire in Bauchi because there is enough water to quench any fire.

Mohammed’s Call for Wike’s Resignation

Mohammed’s call for Wike’s resignation is seen as a significant escalation of the crisis within the PDP. According to sources, Mohammed is frustrated with Wike’s continued anti-party behavior and his refusal to respect the party’s leadership.

PDP Crisis Deepens

The rift between Mohammed and Wike is just the latest development in the ongoing crisis within the PDP. The party has been plagued by internal conflicts, with various factions vying for control. The crisis has raised concerns about the party’s ability to present a united front ahead of the general elections.

Wike’s Response

Wike has yet to respond to Mohammed’s call for his resignation. However, sources close to the minister indicate that he is unlikely to back down, and may even escalate the crisis further.

Implications for the PDP

The crisis between Mohammed and Wike has significant implications for the PDP. With the general elections looming, the party can ill afford to be distracted by internal conflicts. The crisis may also affect the party’s ability to attract voters, as the infighting may be perceived as a sign of weakness.

As the Crisis Unfolds

The crisis between Mohammed and Wike is likely to continue to unfold in the coming days. With both sides digging in, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved. One thing is certain, however: the PDP’s internal crisis is far from over.
